So I know that I should have posted more sooner than this, but a funny thing happens when insomnia becomes full-blown - even though you are up for more hours it doesn't mean that your brain will function during those hours.
Ok, on to the blog post....
Since there is no blog prompt up I thought that I would comment on the articles and sites that we visited during class and then talk about things in general that have been going on these past few weeks, since my life seems to involve new media non-stop.
I like knowing about hotrantsmedia now, since it leaves the wandering around looking for articles to someone else who has the time to track things down. Since I don't belong to any political party and fall under liberal for some topics and conservative for others, its nice to have a range of articles to chose from.
One thing that did disappoint me though was that all of the topics of the articles seemed to be focused on past events and speculations based on financial information. I mean I agree that these things are important, but I just wander how many times things will get talked about before people realize thats all that they seem to be talking about. Granted its still useful information to know when considering who I want as the next president, but when we're still listening to primary election coverage in other states then its twice as much information that is useless that is bombarding you. And we wonder why US citizens aren't as politically active. It would be a whole lot easier if we could just get things done and over with quicker. A person's character and stance should be known without having to be said, so all this parading around is getting absurd.
As for the interesting things that are going on, I've been researching more and more flash websites and have found that they aren't as well laid out as I used to think they were. Its interesting how the more that you know about some the less things seem impressive. I'm not saying that I'm not in awe of some designers or that I don't think that it takes skill to develop and publish flash sites. Rather what I am talking about it the prevalence of overkill and "underkill" when it comes to design. Unfortunately at this time, since I am yet again staying up later than I am supposed to, I don't have links to the places that I wanted to reference, so instead take this as an "announcement of a coming post".
To try and be able to process information in the morning, I am going to go and read through other posts and comment, to make sure that I keep up to date. Night!
